THE  YAI.E  REVIEW 


:A  treasure  house  of  golden  tales  and  fascinating  conjecture: 

The  first  exhaustive  and  authoritative  work  on  the  subject  in  the  English  Language 


Under  the  General  Editorship  of 
Louis  Herbert  Gray,  M.A.,  Ph.D.,  late  Associate  Editor  of  Hastings's  Encyclopaedia  of  Religion  and  Ethics 

For  the  general  reader  who  desires  breadth  of  understanding  and  culture, 
Mythology  is  as  important  a  study  as  the  history  of  nations,  or  the  biogra- 
phy of  men.  It  has  to  do  with  what  the  childhood  of  our  race  has  thought 
of  the  mysteries  of  nature  and  of  life,  and  how  it  has  endeavored  to  inter- 
pret the  spiritual  forces  governing  human  destiny  which  still  feed  our 
universal  curiosity  and  provoke  the  never-answered  WHY  ?  of  our  inward 
thoughts. 


MONROE'S 

CYCLOPEDIA  OF 

EDUCATION: 

"  It  would  seem  to 
be  highlyimportant 
to  compare  the  my- 
thologies of  various 
nations  in  all  stages 
of  civilization  in 
order  to  gain  a 
broader  view." 


NEW  YORK  TIMES: 

"Monumental  in  its 
plan  and  signifi- 
cance." 


Tap  Mythology,  the  well-spring  of  our  cus- 
toms, religion,  literature,  art,  philosophy,  and 
music,  and  see  the  prehistoric  phases  of  our 
own  beliefs.  Enjoy  the  quaint,  beautiful,  in- 
formative, or  inspiring  tales  to  which  any  given 
modern  doctrine,  legend,  or  superstition  may 
usually  be  traced  back.  Feel  the  quickening 
and  sympathy  which  come  with  reading  of 
those  distant  ages  and  distant  men  as  soon 
as  we  realize  that  here  is  the  story  of  our  own 
race — indeed,  of  our  own  selves. 


Max  Mullen  Says: 

"Mythology  not 
only  pervades  the 
sphere  of  religion 
and  tradition,  but 
infects  more  or  less 
the  whole  realm  of 
thought."

TRANSCRIPT: 

"  Will  test  and  en- 
compass the  skill  of 
scholars  through- 
out the  world." 


"May  safely  be  pronounced  one  of  the  most  important  enterprises  of  this  age 
of  co-operative   scholarship." — Prof.   George   F.  Moore,  LL.D.,   Harvard  Univ. 

"  The  value  of  such  a  work  must  needs  be  great." — Outlook. 

"Exhibit  wide  and  accurate  scholarship.     Readable  as  well  as  informative,  being  suited  to 

a  gentleman's  library  rather  than  restricted  to  that  of  the  scholar." — N.   Y.  Eve.  Post. 
"Pre-eminent  for  splendid  type,  excellent  plates,  attractive  binding." — Literary  Digest. 

Each  volume  is  the  work  of  a  scholar  pre-eminent  in  his  particular  field,  but  "written  in 
a  fashion  so  popular  that  they  cannot  fail  to  interest  the  general  reader."  In  the  whole  13 
volumes  which  the  work  comprises  there  are  more  than  800  beautiful  illustrations,  many  in  color, 
from  native  sources,  including  photogravures,  four,  three,  and  two-color  prints,  half-tones, 
and  line  plates.  Five  years  of  preparation,  and  vast  expenditures 
have  been  required  to  make  this  set  in  point  of  interest,  scholarship 
and  elegance,  "a  thing  of  beauty,  and  a  joy  forever." 


Four  volumes  have  been  issued:  Classical,  by  Dr.  William  Sher- 
wood Fox  of  Princeton  University;  Indo-Iranian,  by  A.  Berriedale 
Keith,  D.C.L.,  Edinburgh  University,  and  Albert  J.  Carnoy,  Ph.D., 
University  of  Louvain;  North  American,  by  Dr. Hartley  Burr  Alex- 
ander of  the  University  of  Nebraska,  and  Oceanic,  by  Dr.  Roland 
Burrage  Dixon  of  Harvard  University.  The  others  will  appear  at 
frequent  intervals.

NOT  TO   KEEP 

By  ROBERT  FROST   t& 

L^^\  1*1  <Mv^A 
They  sent  him  back  to  her.     The  letter  came 

Saying  .  .  .  and  she  could  have  him.     And  before 
She  could  be  sure  there  was  no  hidden  ill 
Under  the  formal  writing,  he  was  in  her  sight — 
Living. — They  gave  him  back  to  her  alive — 
How  else?    They  are  not  known  to  send  the  dead — 
And  not  disfigured  visibly.    His  face? — 
His  hands?     She  had  to  look — to  ask 
"What  was  it,  dear?"    And  she  had  given  all 
And  still  she  had  all — they  had — they  the  lucky! 
Wasn't  she  glad  now?    Everything  seemed  won, 
And  all  the  rest  for  them  permissible  ease. 
She  had  to  ask  "What  was  it,  dear?" 

"Enough, 

Yet  not  enough.    A  bullet  through  and  through, 
High  in  the  breast.     Nothing  but  what  good  care 
And  medicine  and  rest — and  you  a  week, 
Can  cure  me  of  to  go  again."     The  same 
Grim  giving  to  do  over  for  them  both. 
She  dared  no  more  than  ask  him  with  her  eyes 
How  was  it  with  him  for  a  second  trial. 
And  with  his  eyes  he  asked  her  not  to  ask. 
They  had  given  him  back  to  her,  but  not  to  keep.
